Chapter 319
"Whether you kill or not has nothing to do with me, and I'm not a good person who does the right thing for heaven," Mo Ghost had an extra dagger in his hand, "But if you rob my head today, it is impossible to let you go so easily." โ
"It's my fault, it's me who has no beads!" Huang Gong watched her get closer and closer, his eyes were terrified, "Daoyou... No, senior, senior, you let me go!"
"Why?" Mo Ghost walked over and crouched down, the dagger against his neck.
"I... Senior, listen to me..." Cold sweat fell from Huang Gong's forehead, his brain was running wildly, he looked at Mo Ghost and licked his dry lips, "Senior! Senior, listen to me, you are here for the big demon in the Northern Demon Beast Forest, right?"
"Oh?" Mo's dagger stopped, "How did you guess?"
"A cultivator like you, there won't be a single one here in a few years, and there must be a reason for the sudden appearance here," Huang Gong saw that she finally listened, and his eyes burst with hope, "Senior, you let me go, I'll provide you with news!"
"Tell the news, and let you go if it's valuable. Mo Ghost held the handle of the dagger and spun around.
"This..." Huang Gong looked at her with timidity, he didn't dare to be tough, and leaned back slightly, dodging her blade, "A few days ago, the news came that it was a big demon running from the northern demon beast forest, and the monks here should be careful. โ
"At that time, I remembered that half a month ago, when I went to the forest, I encountered the corpse of a demon beast, like an inflated balloon, and after it was punctured, it was full of pus and blood. โ
"Do you think this is useful?" Mo Ghost's dagger was pointed at his shoulder, "This only proves that the big demon may have appeared, but it is still unclear where it is. โ
"You... If you promise not to kill me, I will provide you with news," Huang Gong's eyes dodged, his heart beat faster, and his bound hands were trembling, "Senior, we will do some petty theft at most, and we really won't be guilty of death!"
"I said, you tell the news, and then consider whether to let you go. Mo Ghost's dagger was stuck on the ground, and his elbow was on his thigh.
"Then our life and death are still in your thoughts, and now my only bargaining chip is this news, and we must guarantee our lives," Huang Gong suddenly became angry when he spoke, "Senior, my news is definitely worth it for you in exchange for our two lives!"
Mo Ghost's dagger turned around and plunged directly into his stomach.
"Ahh
"I don't like people to threaten me," Mo Ghost took out the dagger and wiped the blood stains on it with Huang Gong's clothes, this knife was pierced in the gap between the spleen and stomach, it hurt, but there would be no danger, it was all skin trauma.
If Huang Gong could calm down, he would definitely feel that there was no problem with his injuries, but he was so frightened by Mo Ghost that he couldn't think of anything at once.
"Don't kill me, I said, I'll say it!" Huang Gong didn't know if it was painful or frightened, the sweat on his forehead condensed into drops, leaving along his sideburns, "It may be on the cliff at the junction of the Weiming Sea and the Demon Beast Forest!"
Mo Ghost took out the detailed map of this place and threw it to him," he pointed out. โ
"Here," Huang Gong's hand covered his stomach, and his fingers were still stained with blood, dripping on the map, as if making a red mark, "The only mountain cliff between the Demon Beast Forest and the Unnamed Sea is on the cliff wall all year round or snakes. โ
"Snakes?" Mo Ghost looked at here, a mountain about a few tens of meters high, and if I remember correctly, it was a cliff at almost a right angle, "What snake?"
"Rattlesnake. Huang Gong's lips were dry, as if he sensed that the injury was not serious, and gradually calmed down, panting, his chest rose and fell, "The pus and blood I saw was not the venom of the rattlesnake?"
"How do you know it's a rattlesnake?" Mo Ghost looked at him suspiciously.
"I poked the corpse, took a little pus and blood, and came back to study it, and it was the rattlesnake venom, so I thought about why it came here, maybe it was looking for the rattlesnake on the cliff," Huang Gong said slowly.
Then I secretly went to the top of the cliff to take a look, and the rattlesnake that had been hibernating in November suddenly began to move again, which did not correspond to its habits at all, and the only explanation was... The big demon might have really come. โ
"How did you find out that pus and blood are rattlesnake venom?" Mo Ghost looked at him suspiciously.
"All demon beasts have different toxins, even if they are snakes, the snake venom between different species of snakes is also different, if you distinguish them carefully, you can still see it," Huang Gong lowered his head, "I like to study these, so I know a little more." โ
"You know a lot about poison?" Mo Ghost stood up and looked at him carefully.
Under the medicine in the wine and the soup, Mo Ghost didn't tell what it was, she noticed something wrong from the abnormality of the proprietress and the bruises on her nails, and when the wine came up, she didn't feel that it was highly poisonous, so she didn't care about the little fox drinking.
When he returned to his room, the little fox fell asleep, and the monk in the next room was similar, so he understood what it did.
If this poison was made by Huang Gong himself, coupled with the ability to distinguish rattlesnake venom from poisonous blood, it is enough to say that he is a master of using poison, and he has such attainments at the same time when he reaches the late stage of foundation building with scattered cultivation, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be so weak and incompetent.
"I don't know much, I just like research. Huang Gong whispered.
"Take me to see where you are studying," Mo Ghost took back the red silk and stood in front of the two of them, as if he had studied it thoroughly, it was impossible that there would be no special place, "Or, I'll find it myself?"
"I... I'll take you there. Huang Gong and his wife looked at each other, not understanding why she was interested in this, but if she could save her life, nothing mattered.
Cheng Xiaoman helped Huang Gong up, glanced at her timidly, and walked into the room.
The innermost is a study, the place is not big, the most eye-catching is a row of bookshelves, not all of them are jade slips, and there are many small pendants, Cheng Xiaoman turned the vase on the side, and the bookshelves were opened to both sides, revealing a secret passage.
"It's right in there. Huang Gong walked in front with his stomach covered, lit the lights on the wall, and walked all the way down.
Mo Ghost followed him, and when he turned a corner, he saw an open stone room, which was more like a study than above, and the wide stone table was full of bottles and cans, and pieces of paper hung on it, and at a cursory glance, they recorded the toxicology of various poisons.
"This is it. Huang Gong sat on the ground and had the courage to give himself a pill.
"How many years have you been here?" Mo Ghost walked to the table and picked up the paper on it, which recorded the medicinal herbs of the mortal world, which were clearly drawn, and the various effects and what herbs to match with were clearly written.
"More than a hundred years," Huang Gong said in a muffled voice.
"From the mortal realm?" Mo Ghost left the table and came to the back wall, which was full of plant specimens made of transparent rubber and other things, looking at its yellowed corners, he knew that there were some years, and what made Mo Ghost Ghost even more sure that these plants were mortal plants.
Huang Gong glanced at her, "Yes, I entered the Dao in the mortal world, and then came to the Demon Beast Forest." โ
"Do you know a lot about mortal plants?" Mo Ghost picked up these specimens-like things, many of which were herbs she had never seen, and she had never been exposed to them in terms of taste or effect, even if these herbs had little effect on the monks, they were generally not enough to be fatal, but they were also unexpected when used, "You also have mortal herbs in the wine?"
"What is in the wine is the powder of the forget-me-weed, and mortals will become fools directly after touching it, but the monk's body is strong, and he will only forget the memory of a day or so. Huang Gong sat on the ground and whispered.
"Let's make a deal," Mo Ghost stood in front of a whole wall, looking at the spirit grass here thoughtfully, "Collect the sorted spirit grass to me, and the two storage bags you snatched will be used as compensation, and I can treat these things you do as if I don't know, how?"
She meant that she would not kill them, although Huang Gong was a little distressed about the achievements of so many years, but when he thought of the spirit stones in the storage bag, he felt that it was worth it.
The proprietress went over and grabbed his sleeve and made a look, which was already a good result, in case it was not easy to talk, she would kill the two directly, and no one would seek justice for them if they said it.
"Okay, but I need time to sort it out, although the spirit grass in the mortal world is weak, there are tens of thousands of kinds, and it will take time to list them in detail. Huang Gong took Cheng Xiaoman's hand.
"How long will it take?" said Mo Ghost, putting things down.
"A month," Huang Gong saw that she seemed to be dissatisfied, and hurriedly continued, "I have to cook in the inn during the day, and I only have time to tidy up at night. โ
"Okay, then January," Mo Ghost pointed his finger on the table, "I'll be back in a month." โ
"Yes, senior, don't worry, I'll sort it out in a month. Huang Gong bowed cautiously.
Mo Ghost glanced at the two of them, turned around and walked out of the secret room.
Huang Gong was still holding the storage bag he had snatched from her, looked at her back as she left, slowly got up, and came to the table.
"Luckily, nothing happened. The proprietress came over and grabbed his sleeve, "With this spirit stone, it's enough for us to go to the city to do some small business, and in the future, let's stop doing this kind of thing, right?"
"But our business, no matter how hard we work, is not as good as what flows out of people's fingers. Huang Gong handed the storage bag to Cheng Xiaoman.
"What do you mean?" the proprietress looked at him, panic in her heart.
"I want to fight once!" Huang Gong looked at the spirit grass on the wall and gritted his teeth. He was able to get out of the mortal realm at the beginning, and today he can get out of this demon beast forest, he doesn't want to nest here for the rest of his life! Now that the opportunity has come, he must seize it!

Xiao Hei waited outside to let off steam, and when he saw her come out and fly to his shoulder, he glanced at the back curiously, but he didn't see a figure.
"Gone. Mo Ghost patted its head and went back to the room on the second floor.
Snatched Xiaobai out of the storage bag and threw it on the table, it didn't react at all when it slept, its four feet slumped on the table, and the corners of its mouth were drooling.
"You go to sleep, it's going to be fine tonight. โ
Mo Ghost put Xiao Hei on the table, came to the bedside, lay down on his side, and thought of the herbs he had just seen in the secret room.
With her ability, as long as she walks through it, she can write down all the herbs, but after all, it is not a substantive record, and spending a little spirit stone can be regarded as worthy of his achievements over the years.
Just thinking back to the herbs I had seen, the night passed quietly.
"Oops!"
The little fox got up in the morning, stretched his waist, and felt comfortable, and he glanced at his surroundings and frowned strangely.
Where is this?
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei!" The little fox pushed Xiao Hei who was still sleeping next to him, "Hurry up, why are we sleeping here?"
"Gah-"
Xiao Hei gave it a strange look, why did it sleep here, passing by the hotel here, it was still drinking here last night!
"Passing by here... I'm still drinking here?" Xiaobai scratched his head and pouted, why didn't he have any impression at all, "I must have drunk too much, I don't remember!" โ
Mo Ghost sat up, hearing that it accepted the fact that he didn't remember anything so quickly, admiration rose in his heart, and it was also a kind of ability to be able to be nervous to this extent.
"Ghost, are you awake?" Xiao Bai saw that she was awake and jumped over, "Did I drink too much yesterday? Why don't I remember anything?" It jumped on Mo Ghost's shoulder, "Forget it, where are we going today?"
"Go check for rattlesnake trackings. "Mo Ghost closed his eyes all night, thinking about the spiritual grass on the wall, which can be regarded as a fruitful harvest.
"Where can we find out?"
The heavy snow for more than a month, the entire demon beast forest is white, not to mention the snake, not even a living thing, Mo Ghost and Ghost came all the way with two demon beasts, all by fate, when he reached the edge of the forest, he didn't dare to go down again, for fear of missing it with the rattlesnake.
"Just follow the past. Mo Ghost took out another storage bag from his belt.
Items such as storage bags and portable medicine gardens cannot be put into storage rings and meson spaces, and monks will buy special belts with many compartments in order to store them, so that they can put their medicine gardens and excess storage bags in them.
"Okay," Bai pouted, jumping on top of Hei's head again, "Don't sleep, let's go!"
Xiao Hei reluctantly raised his head, flapped his wings and flew to Mo Ghost's shoulder, squatting there with misty eyes. It was woken up last night, it didn't make up for sleep, and early this morning, it was leaving again.
There were two spirit beasts standing on the shoulders of the Mo ghost, and when he went downstairs slowly, he saw Huang Gong and Cheng Xiaoman both in front of the counter.
"Boss, check out. โ
